Good news travellers, Thailand visa free entry for Indians has been extended. Yes, Thailand visa free travel 2024 means Indians can now travel to Thailand without a visa and this offer has no end date! Visitors from India can stay in Thailand for up to 60 days without any visa paperwork. If they want to stay longer, they can get an extra 30 days added to their stay by visiting an immigration office in Thailand.

The Thailand visa policy for Indians was originally going to stop on November 11, 2024, but Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) officials have decided to keep it going. The Thailand visa policy for Indian tourists has been confirmed by The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi. Since Thailand stopped asking Indians for visas in November 2023, it has become popular with Indian travellers.  The recent Thailand travel visa update for Indians has made Thailand a top holiday spot because they don’t need to deal with complicated visa paperwork.

Malaysia noticed this success and followed Thailand. In December 2023, Malaysia also stopped asking Indians for visas.  The Thailand visa free travel 2024 has worked really well. And the proof? Malaysia jumped from being the eighth most popular destination for Indian travellers to becoming the fourth most popular in early 2024. 

The Thailand travel visa update for Indians comes as a great relief. “Indian travellers are increasingly looking for destinations that offer convenience and a variety of experiences without enduring extensive visa procedures”, stated Krishna Rathi, senior country director for India at Agoda.

What Is A Visa Free Travel? 

When a country offers visa-free travel, it means you can just pack your bags, and are good to go! All you need is your passport! No paperwork, no extra fees, and no waiting for visa approval. When you arrive, the immigration officer simply checks and stamps your passport.

This makes travel much easier because:

  • You save time (no filling out visa forms).
  • You save money (no visa fees).
  • You can plan trips quickly without waiting for visa processing.

When countries remove visa requirements, they usually see:

  • More tourists booking hotels and places to stay.
  • More jobs are being created in hotels, restaurants, and tour companies. 

It is a win-win situation. Travellers get an easier journey, and the country gets more tourists spending money!

Thailand Tourism: Latest Updates

  • By October 2024, Thailand had recorded around 1.64 million Indian tourists, making India the third-largest source of international visitors after Malaysia and China.  
  • TAT expects over 2 million Indian visitors by year-end, generating nearly 90 billion baht in revenue, with the visa-free policy being a key factor in this growth.

Thailand’s Past Performance

In 2022, India was Thailand’s second-largest source of tourists, with nearly a million Indian visitors among Thailand’s 11 million foreign arrivals, according to TAT.

“Removing visa restrictions makes a huge difference to inbound tourism, and we see this across the globe”, said Agoda’s CEO Omri Morgenshtern.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
